## Opening the Console
Commands are run on the console. To open it, press `` ` `` (the key above `TAB`).\
Note that this key generally only exists in this form on English keybords (ANSI US, ISO UK, ...).
If you for example have a German keyboard you'll notice that this key is located left of `BACKSPACE` but won't open the console when you press it.
To open your console you'll either have to switch to the English (US) layout **before** starting the game or rebinding the key to open console.
### Rebinding the console
{% hint style="info" %}
The console can only be bound to ``"`"`` or one of the function keys `"F1" - "F12"`
{% endhint %}
To rebind it open Titanfall and navigate to `Controls > Settings > Key Binds` and change the `"Toggle Developer Console"` bind.
If the `"Toggle Developer Console"` field is missing you can either disable all mods that don't start with `Northstar.` or rebind it manually.
To rebind it manually make sure neither Titanfall nor Northstar are running, then go to `My Documents\Respawn\Titanfall2\local\` and open `settings.cfg`.\
Look for the line containing `toggleconsole`, i.e.
```txt
bind "`" "toggleconsole"
```
and replace the `` ` `` key with your prefered key to open console. So if you want to open console with `F5`, change the line to
```txt
bind "F5" "toggleconsole"
```
